Loretta Holzberger: Needlelace Star Sampler

Beginning Needle Lace Star 

Pattern + Instructions:  Loretta Holzberger c.2022

Started a 2nd Star (sampler).

This one has Cebelia outline fiber (size 30) 

and filling stitches are

DMC Cordonnet Special 40.

I messed up the 3rd point on the first star - and

struggled with the Cebelia.

I watched the video of the third session

Lace Museum, Virtual Education.

It is wonderful to take zoom classes and have the recording of the session to refer back to.

The final filling stitches will be knotted buttonhole (mine look wimpy so far) and the Point de Grain.

 

Ready for the final session ....

 

DMC Cebelia 20 - Star Outline (couched)

 I'm using DMC Cebelia 30 for the filling stitches.

Double Buttonhole Stitch

Triple Buttonhole Stitch

 Pea Stitch

Ready for the final session which

will be Knotted Buttonhole and Point de Grain.

(plus finishing the edges and cutting loose from

the paper)

DMC Coton Perle 8, Col. 972, Lizbeth, Twirlz, Monarch, Czech beads,

In response to question, I did hope to put

sunflowers into a shadow box.   They sell them at Michael's (perhaps other places).

Front Opening Shadow Box.

I have sunflowers completed, I have partial sunflowers, and instructions/patterns to launch.   

I want to do the Endruck's sunflower - another link here, finish my beaded lace bobbin with sunflower pattern,  needle lace sunflower, zwirnknopf button set, small grapevine wreath, and (floral) buttons.

I also have some tatted stars and needle lace stars in the works. And a bobbin lace star (design by Karen Thampson) on Alex Stillwell's Wordpress Site.  

I don't know what other artists do with their lace - I usually give most away.   Recently, though, I have had a 'theme' of sunflowers in different patterns that I'd like to arrange (somehow).

Summertime Sunflowers

EDITED

This was a zoom class

thru the Lace Museum, which I set aside,

and kind of forgot about - -

Sunflower Teneriffe Lace Kit by Joan Brash.

This teneriffe pattern / Kit uses beads and fibers.

 Do you see the beads?

In addition to the Teneriffe Sunflower,

I've started a Needle Lace Sunflower, too

thru the Lace Museum ... next zoom session/video on Tuesday.

Sunflowers are a GREAT theme

for the summer sessions via the Lace Museum virtual education.  I have a few patterns and kits ...

This was the first sunflower, of the summer, that I've completed:

 Class instruction and pattern by Kelli Slack.  Link:  Sunflowers at the Twisted Picot.   

I have a few sunflowers to create -- I have a Spangles kit - beaded lace bobbin.   

(photo from their web site Spangles)

Karen Smock has a class coming up, Sunflower on a small Grapevine wreath.  Earlier this year she had a lovely earring/necklace set, Zwirnknopf Sunflower Buttons - which I will enjoy making.   

Also, I came accross the Endruck's Happy Sunflowers, LINK HERE.   (tatting)    Should be fun.

I'm looking forward to see the new class offerings 

for Winter : )

 

 

Tatted edges

These are the edges I use for lacemaking demonstrations.

A simple ring and chain -- simple split ring edges.  

Patterns on the Lafayette Lacemakers blog - Link HERE.

Split Ring edge - Lizbeth size 20, Col. 661

Pattern:  Sophie T. LaCroix, 1143, Old and New Designs in Tatting--Book No. 11.

I'm using Lizbeth size 20, colors 170 & 138.  It is over 24" long.

This edge is not difficult, once you get the pattern going.

And colorful!

Pattern:  Plate 21-Insertion, Anne Orr in the Tatting Book No 13

[Helping Hands Newsletter Vol 32, Issue 2 - Spring/Summer 2024]

I find the wooden edge keepers keep my tatting from tangling up.  I tend to tat a little bit here and there, so nice to tuck in a bag and carry along.
